TECHNOSTORKS
A Review
Howard W. Jones, Jr., M.D.
It is probably safe to say that most adult couples know the term, "in vitro fertilization" (IVF) and understand that it means joining a woman's egg with a man's sperm in a laboratory dish and placing the embryo (technically a preembryo) into the woman's uterus for development. It is also safe to say that the average couple's understanding stops there.
Imagine then the consternation in a couple who have come to the point where they are told that IVF is their last best chance to achieve their reproductive goal.
To be sure, the process will be described by the nurse and/or the doctor, and there are pamphlets without end to read. But, in this television age, most of us benefit by and understand better if our eye can see what our ear is hearing.
This is the role of the documentary on in vitro fertilization - TECHNOSTORKS - by Andrei Kirilenko.
This documentary highlights three couples as they deal with the emotional, financial, sociological, and medical aspects of exactly what is involved in the in vitro fertilization process.
Specifically, the viewer sees and hears exactly what is involved in the injection process designed to recruit more than the single egg of the normal menstrual period, exactly what is involved in retrieving that egg, exactly what is involved in the fertilization process in the in vitro laboratory, exactly what is involved when the preembryo is transferred into the uterus, and exactly what is involved in all of the other innumerable steps.
Lastly, we see and realize the anxieties of the interval after transfer until the pregnancy results are available.
This documentary fills a need for the couple requiring in vitro fertilization. It can be highly recommended as an accurate and informed explanation of the IVF process.
Dr. Howard W. Jones performed the first successful IVF procedure in the United States. He is Professor Emeritus of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Eastern Virginia Medical School, Professor Emeritus of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Honorary Chairman of the Board of the Jones Institute for Reproductive Medicine, and a past Chairman of the American Fertility Society Ethics Committee on Reproductive Technology.

Description of Technostorks: A Documentary on Infertility and In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)
Technostorks documents the true life stories of three couples - Joann and Sean, Nora and Eric, and Wendy and Rodney - as they go through infertility and in-vitro fertilization. It is the first IVF cycle for Sean and Joann, the second for Wendy and Rodney, and the fourth, and most likely the last, cycle for Nora and Eric. Technostorks documents the couples' most private moments, showing images never before seen on the screen. We follow couples into the operating room to witness egg retrievals and embryo transfers, hear their views on living with infertility, spirituality, and parenthood, and learn with them the outcomes of their IVF cycles. Throughout the film, top experts explain the technological, psychological, and spiritual aspects of assisted reproduction. In the end, not all of our couples will achieve pregnancy, but they will all undergo a personal transformation.Bestsellers in DVD
